10 Scriptures on Weakness

What does the Bible say about weakness? 

When you’re struggling with feelings of weakness life can become difficult. Weakness can cause us to take steps backwards, make us hide from people and our destiny, and hurt our confidence.

We will all feel weak at some point. Our circumstances can become overwhelming, we can face loss, and fail at something important. The hardships of life can make us feel weaker and weaker over time. 

So what’s the solution?

One of the best things to do when you’re feeling weak is to remind yourself of what the Bible says. Your feelings are very real, and you shouldn’t try to hide the fact that you’re feeling weak. But the Scripture can give us a new perspective and give us the strength we need to keep moving forward.

Here are 10 Bible verses to read when you’re feeling weak:
